Re: [videoblogging] Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes
I'm gonna pull a Verdi here and assert that there are no vlogging mistakes, I mean other than linking to the wrong video or something like that. Everything else is just counter-intuitive to building a certain audience, but that doesn't mean it's a mistake. Make what you want, how you want, but if you really want people to tune in, pay attention to the things that turn people off and be aware when you are doing these things...

Re: [videoblogging] Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes
Diva, I really did want to hear your answers to these quetions: I own a virtual agency and I have to negotiate with every artist regarding usage rights. These folks work hard to produce their work and I don't feel that it is right to take it without authorization.I am interested in this point - how difficult is it to negotiate such rights? Are there standard forms? What kinds of fees are typical, if there is such a thing as typical in this field? Is there a clearinghouse where I could go and say "I want to use Song X for my videoblog, which has an average monthly circulation of n, which is distributed by so-and-so means... How much will that cost me?" - and get a quick answer? I would expect such a service to include considerations such as the difference between using a song in its entirety with no other sound (so that there could be abuses such as people stripping out the soundtrack to put on their iPod without further payment), vs using only some proportion of a song, or using it as background music with other sound so that a clean recording could not be easily stripped out of the video. You have experience in this field, so if you're willing to share, I'd like to know! -- best regards,Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal)www.tvblob.com (work) SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Use YAHOO!

Yup, the one thing that seems to bother me the most is people who just blatantly use the work of others without permission, and brush it off with "well, I love the song" or some other such excuse...

Re: [videoblogging] Top Ten Vlogging Mistakes
I only have one that I can think of right now. Filming a screen. Anyone here who does this: STOP NOW. It's annoying. Filmiing a CRT is really bad-- the frequency sync problem means you always get a band of grey going across the screen you're filming. And there is no excuse for it. It's not like screencasting software isn't cheap. Get some. Use it. For crying out loud, if you don't, you're just lazy. Filming an LCD is not much better-- it's blurry and blue.

I use the text to determine whether I want to download the video or not. The descriptive text is really important. My pet peeve is the long intro. Spending the first third of a video filming yourself explaining what you're going to show me. Cut out the long intro (and do a short text description) and just *show* me. This is the power of video - you can actually show me instead of just talking bout showing. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.
